Menu Plan Monday: Planning Backwards

November 4, 2013

My normal menu planning routine includes hunting through the fridge, freezer, and cupboard to see what we already have. I try to plan around that and then fill in the gaps with sale items from the grocery store.

Last week was crazy at our house. I decided to boycott grocery shopping as long as possible. I ended up making a last-minute run to the grocery store on Saturday morning, attempting to get home in time to catch the Ohio State football game. Needless to say, I didn’t have a menu plan. I didn’t have a great list. I was flying by the seat of my pants.

While I was at the store, I picked up some chicken and ground beef and a few other items and figured I’d create a menu plan around that. So here goes!
